An ancient embodiment of erosion. Its feelers and gnashing maw can burrow through dirt and rock, tearing an island from a cliffside in a single night. Its movements shift deep-sea currents and create underwater caves.

Appearance:
The Devourer of Shores is a nudibranch-like leviathan. Deep-blue with bioluminescent patches, its soft, slimy body produces a runny mucus that solidifies as it falls. It has no eyes, instead using its four feelers and enormous mouth to sense its surroundings.
Behaviour and Interactions:
The Devourer of Shores appears shrouded in a raging hurricane, emerging from the depths close to coastlines, It will then barrel into cliffs or dive down into flatter shores, leaving colossal holes in its wake. The devastation that it causes can erase coastal cities overnight. If habitations are not swallowed whole or smashed by its tendrils as it crushes rocks into smaller morsels, the cliffs they stood on will become unstable and crumble to the ground.
This beast feeds off of the nutrients in the soil and rocks in pulls from the lands’ edges. Any nutrients that aren't used are secreted in its mucus crystals, which act as an insta-grow remedy for reefs and marine flora. It is frequently followed by other marine creatures, who revere it for bringing new life. Thriving aquatic communities often sprout from the wreckage left by a Devourer of Shores.
Rumours amongst sailors suggest there may be multiple of these beasts, one for every shoreline lurking deep below the surface…
